Kakorrhiaphobia is the irrational fear of failure. The fear of failure often manifests itself in the form of procrastination, low self-esteem, and even depression. People who suffer from kakorrhiaphobia may also have other fears such as kakoparachondriacophobia (the fear of success), or kakotikapnohypochondriacobromitrophobiasm(the fear of success followed by failure).

Kakorrhiaphobia is most common in students who are facing exams or sports players who have been working hard towards achieving their goals. Even if you're not facing a major exam or sporting event, it can still be hard not to think about your performance and if it will be good enough. You might even get anxious before doing something new just because there's a possibility that you may fail at it!

People with phobias are very unlikely to overcome them without the help of a mental health professional or intensive self-work.

Phobias are often the result of a traumatic experience, and as such they can be overcome. However, it takes time and effort to work through the trauma and develop more positive associations with the thing or situation you fear. It is best to work with a mental health professional who has experience treating phobias to help you overcome this condition.

Conclusion

If you have kakorrhiaphobia, you should seek professional help from a mental health professional or therapist. It is important to remember that there are many treatment options for phobias, including cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy.
